Kern Steel Fabrication

Kern Steel Fabrication, Inc. (KSF) is well known in the industry as a structural steel fabricator that consistently meets or exceeds contract requirements and client expectations. This directly reflects the diligence and attention to detail of everyone at KSF--from the president of the company to the dedicated sweeper who constantly sweeps the shop to provide a clean and safe work area. Most clients are not aware that KSF is also a national leader in the design and construction of aircraft ground support maintenance platforms, work stands, and docking stations.

Elwood Champness founder of Kern Steel Fabrication (KSF) began his career in the late 1950's as a concrete salesman. You might ask how a concrete salesman becomes involved in steel fabrication? It all started when Champness determined he could go no further in the concrete business and decided to build homes on the weekends. This led to a partnership building tract homes. The partnership started a new company, Kern Craft Products, which served as a supplier to contracting business'. Later the partnership dissolved and Champness kept the supply business going selling construction supplies to other builders and contractors.
